Flat Top Manor was the summer home of Moses and Bertha Cone. Known as the Denim King, Moses built his fortune with textile mills that produced denim fabric for companies such as Levi Strauss. Completed in 1901, the home featured central heating, indoor plumbing, and gas lighting. More than 25 miles of carriage trails cross the estate, and Trout and Bass lakes allow fishing with a valid North Carolina or Virginia fishing license.
